Roll Call, unanimous. Subject File 375-67 Otto Esch Equipment Supply Company, request for special use permit. It was moved by Anderson and seconded by Pope to recommend approval of the special use permit to allow equipment sales and rental operation as requested subject to revised development plans as prepared by Progressive Design Associates dated March 13, 1967. Roll Call, unanimous. Subject File 380-67 Target Stores, Inc. 1515 West County Road B, request for special use permit for service station. Mr. James Carroll representing Target Stores, Mr. Clay Bergstrand and Mr. Garry Sparian, attorney,presented the plan for the service station. It would eliminate about 48 parking places but would leave 740 for the center which is over the minimum required by our ordinance. The main access would be from County Road B. However, access also would be available from street on the east side through the parking lot. They would have four pumps with eight hoses and sell possibly 20,000 gallons of gas per month. They would not use gas as a leader item to get customers into the Target Stores. Mr. Martin Libenoff was opposed to granting the special use permit because he felt it would create more parking problems for him. He has had as many as 13 cars per day in his lot some staying as long as one hour who appear to be doing business at Target. Mr, Bob Peterson speaking for the service station operators stated that figures from Ford Motor Company shows that 60.4% of cars sold are maintained by service station operators, that they provide clean rest rooms, towing service, and many other services not supplied by stations that only pump gas. He also asked if the gas would be sold as a loss leader. Mr, Sheldon Rubenstein of Rose Car Wash was opposed because he felt that he was providing this service now. Hr. Richard Fox of Fox's Pure Oil felt that 8 stations on B between Lexinp-ton and Snelling were more than the area could handle. He stated that the Mobil Station on Hamline and B has had 6 operators in the last 12 years and has been closed for the past year. Mr. James Meyer, Gene Krause, Ray Herman, Irvin Stuben and Lars Lidberg also appeared before the commission. The commission felt that the parking was a problem at times for the shopping center and that the increase in traffic flow would create more problems. It was the general con- census that we have enough service stations in this area. Therefore, it was moved by Remsburg that \\'e recommend denial of this request. Roll Call, unanimous.
